Sacred Symbols+, Episode 314 | Sacred Symbols x Defining Duke: The Great ABK/Microsoft Blowout (Patreon)

Welcome to another rousing rendition of Sacred Symbols x Defining Duke, our recurring Sacred Symbols+ subseries that we bring to you each month. This week, the five co-hosts of Sacred and Duke join for a lengthy episode about a topic most of you are clamoring to hear us cover: Microsoft's near-complete acquisition of Activision. Now, anything can happen -- as of the time we recorded, Microsoft and Activision were negotiating an extension to their deal after nearly running out the clock -- but we've recorded this assuming everything goes through. And to keep an incessant focus on Xbox off of the mainline run of Sacred Symbols, we figured we'd dump all of our thoughts here instead. There's not much more to say. Enjoy the show.

(Like Episode #313, we're posting this earlier than it would otherwise go live in our normal schedule, because we feel like you'd really wanna hear it now-ish. Thus, this is Saturday, July 22nd's episode of Sacred+. There will not be another episode of Sacred+ published until Wednesday, July 26th [barring some major news].)
